"The more bodies I saw, I realized that I have to give an outlet for people to mourn — and express my own sorrow as well. So I just grabbed some supplies and basically set out this memorial," Goulich said.

"People have been traumatized by this. This is a time when we need to come together and I think people sense it."

Goulich's memorial stretched over 15 metres on Tuesday, after residents added their own messages and mementos.

A number of politicians were present for the vigil, including the city's mayor John Tory, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford.
